I am intriqued by all this pulley talk. I don't like the idea of really cranking up the revs on my supercharger, for longevity purposes.

But when I went on pulleyboys.com, I nothiced they make a ton of sizes for the style 1 vehicles. Cool idea. What is the stock size? I am sure it is on here somewhere, maybe it is 3 inch? Anyways, has anyone tried one of the milder upgrades? I could get into maybe a small tweak.

What year do you have? The sizes differ by year, even in Series 1.

Ok, I have a 92. So that means I already have the fastest spinning blower. Bummer.

No...that means you have to buy a smaller pulley...like a 2.20 or even down to 2.00 (if you are modified approproately)...

I am running a 2.2"....works great...BOOST!!!!!!!!!!

For a 92/93, you really need another piece. An oversized idler pulley from ZZP is critical in my opinion. Belt slip is a major concern. Go here to see why (scroll through....the pics are farther down):

Bill, what about my '95? would the larger idler be necessary in my case?

I was wondering about that too. But I wouldn't think you would. You could if you wanted to though.

Not as critical, but it couldn't hurt. It'll give you more belt wrap, and it'll keep the idler from near the end of travel after the smaller SC pulley. It was a little tight when I put it on, but the belt stretch made it perfect.
